It's so cool when you fluently speak russian and watch these videos to practice your English.

[@aaronmorris1513]

The word “weekdays” in English refers to the days Monday through Friday as opposed to the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. If you are talking about all the days, say “days of the week.”

[@Yaroslav_Rus]

Thank you, I study English here sometimes. Будни - weekdays, дни недели-days of the week, right?

[@neilrmartin1984]

I think they're synonymous

[@aaronmorris1513]

@@neilrmartin1984 If you saw a listing for a show that was on tv Monday through Friday, you would hear “The X Show, weekdays at 10am on channel 2.” Or I would say I work weekdays, when I work Monday through Friday.

[@nevalyasha911]

It's strange to me but ok. Because is'nt "end" of some thing also is part of this thing? Неделя is week, дни недели is days of the weeks and будни(рабочие дни) is weekdays(days of work); i think it's strange that "weekdays" and "days of the week" mean different although it is two words that just was replaced between themselves.

Bro last week I had just finished learning all these and boom up pops your video. Also guys if you’re reading this I found a super effective way to increase vocabulary. I was watching Lex Fridman and Jack Barsky (the ex KGB agent) said he learned English fast with this one trick. He wrote down 50-100 words onto notecards and each day he would go through them. If he was able to remember the word once, he put it in a separate stack, he would then go through and see which words he could recall two times in a row without error and put them into a #2 stack and so on until he could do it 5 times. He said once he could do that it was in long term memory by the next day. I can tell you that this is working really well for me I went from learning maybe 5 words a day to like 20 a day.

[@Hellofriends9045]

Your teaching style is just awesome we need more video like this. Спасибо.

[@jackportugge5647]

Interesting stuff. In Portuguese, we have the easiest week days to learn: Monday is, in literal translation to English: "2nd fair" (because sunday was considered the first day of the week, as being the most important day: the church going day), tuesday is "3rd fair", and so on so forth, 4th, 5th and 6th fairs! your first day is our second day and so on. We are the only country with this particularity, unlike Spain, France or the UK, where the names of the week are related to planets or ancient pagan gods. This Portuguese minimalism was done by the "holy" Inquisition during the late middle ages, in an effort to purge any vestiges of paganism from society! Funny that they just haven't reminded to change sunday to ressurection, however our "SUNSday" is already called "domingo", which comes from latin "domini", which means Lord. As for "SATURNSday" it is the only one in our language similar to the Russian "subotu". Now i learn that some Russian week days are also named after numbers, but in a different counting...a bit confusing, but Russian language isn't easy on any account. You teach me a little Russian, i teach you a bit of Portuguese!

[@mouadessabari5919]

Arabs do the same except the counting starts from Sunday to 5th day Thursday, Friday our holy day for us the Muslims has special name( AL-JUMUHAH ) i'm not sure about the meaning but for me something like " Summing or gathering day " (maybe I'm totally wrong) , Saturday is ( A-SSABT ) looks like it's widely used word, jews use it too (sabbath i guess) as their holy day.

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

I think Sábado too comes from Sabath, just like суббота.

[@orisphera]

There are multiple ways of counting the days of the week that give the numbers like in Russian. The two most normal ones are starting with Monday=1 or Sunday=0

[@suannasabrinapereira8091]

Some words are quite similar too. 🤗

[@joeydigrazia765]

Yes, so typical of Portuguese, so cool and exotic !!!, a language spoken from Lisbon, Rio, Cape Verde, Goa, and Macau, the Portuguese even gave the word bread, pan, to the Japanese. I miss our times Portugal 😄💖🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

[@lavietzion4388]

Amazing video!

[@matehermann329]

Hungarian is very similar, some of them originates from these words in the video. monday - hétfő - it translates as 'the head of the week' similar to russian tuesday - kedd - the word kettő/kettedik (second) merged into this word wednesday - szerda - its almost the same as in russian thursday - csütörtök - originates from 'четыре', the pronounciation is similar friday - péntek - also very similar saturday - szombat - almost identical sunday - vasárnap - this one is the black sheep, it has no similarities to any slavic, not even in origins Just thought i should share this here :)

[@iblackfeathers]

будний день = week day будние дни = week days выходной = weekend fydor is talking about the entire “days of the week” (sunday to saturday) or дни недели, not the “weekdays” (monday to friday) as the title implies.

[@hx4011]

Thank you very much for explaining small changes to the sentence/words as the video goes on. This brings things together for learning of a wider range a lot easier and makes it much easier to come back to this video if a learner needs a concise explanation about the days of the week in Russian. I think a lot of teachers avoid this as to not overload a learner. But I think that just postpones the real learning the learner needs to understand things better.

[@IvanLuizdeFreitas]

In Portuguese, the week "starts' with Sunday, so Monday becomes the second day of the week and so goes on until Friday, that becomes the 6th day of the week in this system. It's nice to see the differences to Russian.

[@chadbailey7038]

[@thetooginator153]

Fyodr - You are doing an EXCELLENT job with these videos! I like how you talk a little bit about the origins of the words. Молодец!

[@mihanich]

Понедельник literally means "after-sunday", because earlier неделя meant Sunday in Russian as in other Slavic languages. It looks like in earlier Slavic languages nedela meant both "week" and "sunday", it was only later that "week" and "Sunday" got their separate names. In some Russian dialects "week" is also called semina and tyden', while "Sunday" is called "nedelya". But i doubt those dialects survived by now, unfortunately. Also, it's seems like in Polish niedziela also sometimes used to denote "week" because I heard in a polish song "czasu niewiele, jeszcze dwie niedziele" ("not so much time left, two more weeks")

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

That is very interesting! Can you tell me, do you know the origin of неделя ? ...I'm totally guessing here, but I wonder if it had an original literal meaning something like "no deeds" or "no doings" because that is the Christian day of rest? Also.....as you might already know, semana means week in Spanish, which is strikingly similar to semina in those old Russian dialects.

[@alexistirado6547]

[@retret-cc8yn]

Great vid! Thank you!

[@pavelhancar]

Привет, понедельник называется понедельником вероятно потому что он после воскресенья. В большинстве славянских языков воскресенье называется "неделя" (ук: неділя, срб: недеља, пл: niedziela) а для недели там какое-то другое слово. Это логично: слово неделя, оно происходит от "не делать". Буква "в" звучит как "ф" не в начале слова, но пока она вместе с глухими согласными (на пример в слове "вдоль" звучит "в"). Есть пары звонких/глухих согласных: д/т, в/ф, б/п, з/с. И всё равно как слово написано, либо звонкие звучит вместе, либо глухие звучит вместе (на пример в слове "способ" в начале звучит "с" а в слове "сберечь" думаю звучит "з"). Это называется "Ассимиляция согласных": ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F_(%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0)

[@ВячеславЗахаров-ф4з]

Неделя была последним днём недели. А воскресенье это христианское название этого дня. Раньше христиане начинали отсчёт дней с него. Вс.

[@ВячеславЗахаров-ф4з]

Понедельник шел по счету после дня недели. Среда это от середина ,средняя, вторник . Четверг пятница.

7:42 Fun fact: the stress in “по средам” depends on the meaning: if “среда” means ‘Wednesday’, including here, it's “по средАм”, but it can also mean ‘environment’, and in that case, it's “по срЕдам”

[@Мопс_001]

It's quite catchy and weird to hear it this way. "По срЕдам" is just more natural sounding. Especially that there is very little room where you'd need to say "средам" in the meaning of environment. It's more likely that people would correct the one who says "средАм". Also as I found out, today both options for" Wednesday" are correct.

Well, I wouldn't say that in the Russian names of the days of the week "e" is pronounced as "и" (среда, четверг) and "в" as "ф" (вторник). These are rather subtleties of the Russian language, you can hear something between "e" and "и", but not a pure "и".

This is difficult to explain even as a native russian speaker. I can tell you that тебя is more about sentences like "Do you have *something*? (У тебя есть *?)", "I love you (Я люблю тебя)", "I'm doing this for you (Я делаю это для тебя)", while ты is for sentences that usually contain the "are" article in english such as "You're beautiful! (Ты красивый/красивая!)", or "Are you here? (Ты тут/здесь?)" or something like "Why are you doing this? (Почему ты это делаешь?)"
